Women really do drain your life force...

I'm MGTOW, but don't let that turn you off. From my perspective, giving women our essence is one more way of many that they drain us. Literally. Yet we go right on seeking them out. We may as well go to the club and say "hey baby, how about i allow you to take away my energy and motivation just so i can get laid?" It occured to me lately that regular sex is of course the same as jerking off from a physiological standpoint, and it leaves you just as uninspired and dead inside as habitual jerking off. I think this may be, from an evolutionary standpoint, nature's way of making us placid and want to sit at home with that woman, our brains softened by the fucking, and protect her instead of being out there doing fantastic works of cave art or slaying woolly mammoths, which would thus attract possible rival females. My thoughts, anyway.

I think there is a large distinction between "women draining your life force" and "letting women drain your life force".

Yes, there are some women out there who are cock hungry and love the attention, adoration, and energy that they can get and accumulate from men.

However there are also men who simply cannot or choose not to control themselves, and then there are those who can. In either case it isn't necessarily the women that is draining one's life force.

Blaming it on women seems to be going to the other side and extreme, it's almost conjuring a repulsion and repressing that energy or thought habits toward them, perhaps it is necessary and beneficial in the short term for some, especially if they were once on the other side of the extremity. By doing this perhaps they may figure out the "right" balance and reach The Middle Way of letting go, instead of fighting, coercing, or repressing that energy

Women dont do shit. YOU initiate it! Its starts with THE INDIVIDUAL MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO GIVE ENERGY TO THE WOMAN! There is no woman putting a gun to your head forcing you to give them some dick.

And personally im quite sick and tired of people blaming everyone and everything except THEMSELVES! It starts with YOU! Enough pointing fingers and assessing others, asses your damn self and hold yourself accountable for the lifeforce that YOU give away!

The purpose of sex to its purity is to create life in the first place, so yeah that's what women naturally do, and they're supposed to take that energy to create life. But the process does not start until the man makes a conscious decision and takes action.

There will not be any true progress until the individual holds themselves 100% accountable for their actions.

He’s not blaming women he’s saying that’s what they seek out. Anyone who’s been on a decent streak can tell that. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that, and perhaps letting other men know. Before they get ‘loved up’ and hypergamy kicks them in the backside.

I needed it to experience it many times until I could really believe it or get some self discipline to stop fucking around. Since I live in Thailand as a bartender I could have sex every night if I want to. At the beginning I did... the women attraction thing makes it also super super easy for us. I thought fuck it, this women are super hot and want me... people on nofap claimed sex is okay.. have as much as you want. At the end I had sex 5-7 times per week and felt literally the same compared to my pmo days no joke. Extreme low confidence, energy, mood, motivation... and on top of that I became needy and weak again. If I had sex with one particular women many times she can manipulate me again with sex and I became a needy boy. I was acting not strong, centered and so on so she lost interest. I still think even if it’s a great women and you want a relationship with her don’t have sex with her more then once per week. If I have sex even with a great women more than that I start acting needy and less confident. We should not give our life force away that often even with good women! Then I retained for one week and all of the sudden this woman who first started to lose interest became interested in me again. I started to wake up with an fire inside to improve myself again. I started to act more confident again. People started to respect me more again. The energy and motivation is back.... so yeah.. there will be no Long Term damage if you have much sex, after 1-2 weeks you will be fine again. But is it worth it to just feel bad for 1-2 weeks just for an short term high? Think about it. Not for me. Even if I am super horny and the girl super attractive. All in all like it is preached here.... the superpowers don’t come from nofap, they come from semen retention 100%. It’s my own experience, maybe some people can have much sex and still feel fine. Not me.

Hey bro! I think every one is different and there is no clear answer to that. It seems like that releasing once per week is the maximum in order to keep benefits intact. Especially the energy, motivation, confidence and magnetism thing. More than that and all that stuff will not go totally away but it will go down significantly. For me while I had sex nearly every day for some weeks I didn’t felt like shit. But all benefits were gone. I just felt like „normal“ and especially like a needy weak guy again. Similar to my pmo days. I guess if you want to keep benefits super high you should aim for having sex every 2-3 weeks. What is really not easy, especially if you are in a relationship or if you have multiple sexual opportunities. Many people here also claim about stagnating energy. That after around 4 weeks of retention that the benefits will go down too, if you don’t release at all. I will experiment with that now a bit and see how long I can go without losing the benefits or going into a flatline. Its over 2 years now for me... and you will learn more and more about yourself while doing it. I know with firsthand experience that sex is fine.... TOO much sex is whats dangerous. Self control and awareness is the key here. Listen to your intuition and find out what is right for you.

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, somehow I also guessed once per week is the maximum amount allowed without wrecking your brain again. I am 330 days in thanks to your post on r/nofap. Keep going and I hope life leads you to good places.

hi i was just wondering because i just came across your post from long ago about tinnitus. I'm pretty sure my tinnitus is caused from masturbation, it started right after I o'd one day. How has your tinnitus been? Did it disappear completely? To what level is it at, completely gone, etc.? Please help, I need hope that it will go away (October 2018, 13 yo male, you can read my posts for more info about me). Did the semen retention and abstinence from PMO allow you to fully recover?

My tinnitus is barely audible now. It is disappearing bit by bit every day. You are right. Excessive PMO can cause tinnitus. I have an experience that confirms this.

During my journey, I took Strattera for a week to help with my focus. That week, I barely heard tinnitus. I researched Strattera. It’s an ADHD med that increases norepinephrine in your brain. People here focus on dopamine but norepinephrine is also a neurotransmitter influenced by orgasm. (It lets you gain erection by letting blood in your penis.)

Another thing I did is that I started taking methylfolate and methylcobalamin. I was 330 days in and still felt not 100% healed. It turns out I have a genetic condition that produces less of the enzyme that processes folate and cobalamine. So I have to take the forms that are already methylated. Folate is important for neurotransmitter production in your brain. Cobalamine is important for neuronal growth. They are also called vitamin Bs. About 80% of people can get them normally from food. 20% like me need methylated forms. If you think you have this condition, try them. You can find them on Amazon or any drugstore nearby.

Wow! Barely audible meaning only in silence? Or when you plug your ears? Lke you can barely hear it in complete silence? Disappearing bit by bit every day! Congrats! I have faith that your body will make the tinnitus go to the level that everyone has (this isn't a type - everyone should have tinnitus but for most people it's at a really really low extent. Here's a test and my source: Get foam earplugs, put them in your ears, go into a completely silent and peaceful setting, try to breathe quietly. Eventually, after a few minutes, you will hear a slight ringing - reference the source below.

I am in bed. This is the quietest time of the day. My tinnitus used to rage, full blown, at times like this. I felt like frenzied mosquitoes were having a party in my ears. Now the noise is very distant, almost from another world. Very weak and untethered to my mind.

Eight hours of sleep.

One hour of exercise (dancing or indoor cycling) first thing in the morning. This is crucial for norepinephrine genesis.

330 days of NoFap. (Though I don’t think you’d need this much.)

Supplements (once a day with a meal):

Two multivitamin tablets (mostly for zinc but other nutrients are good too.)

Methylfolate

Methylcobalamin

Vitamin D3 (I get little sunlight.)

NAC

Arginine

Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylcholine

You don’t need all the supplements. They’re just what I take.

You can take tests like 23andMe. It costs like $99. Or you can just buy methylfolate and methylcobalamin and see if you feel better with them. It will cost like $20. They are water-soluble vitamins so there is no risk of overdose.

yup. If you read the stuff I wrote, 99.99% of people have tinnitus, it's just not audible without ears plugged. Also, are you doing hardcore nofap or medium mode? Read about adderall tinnitus d2 receptors tinnitus nerve exhaustion tinnitus check if you're getting adequate amounts of dopamine, nopeniphrine and serotonin. i've posted a lot of posts about recovery and tinnitus, white noise, and visual snow. since i'm realaly lazy, sorry in advance, you can try reading up on those because unless it's a really severe abuse i would think you would be healed by now (unless it's not hard core mode) ? good luck on your recovery!

I work a full-time job and I work out for one hour first thing in the morning. I think 30 minutes a day is the bare minimum and one hour is the optimal minimum. There are metal bars you can install in your doorway to do pull-ups and chin-ups. Push-ups are not that cost effective and burden your joints.

Many users on reddit abstain from pornography and masturbation but they fail to realize that they are indirectly retaining semen through which all the super powers are coming.
Ancient asians have practiced this art and earned huge benefits from it.
